Answer:

x = 24.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sides of the triangle are the hypotenuse (x) and a side of length 20 that is adjacent to the 34° angle and opposite the 56° angle.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of relationships between the hypotenuse and adjacent or opposite sides:

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

If we want to use the "adjacent" side, we would choose ...

cos(34°) = 20/x

x = 20/cos(34°) ≈ 20/0.83 ≈ 24.10 . . . . . rounding according to instructions

If we want to use the "opposite" side, we would choose ...

sin(56°) = 20/x

x = 20/sin(56°) ≈ 20/0.83 ≈ 24.10 . . . . . rounding according to instructions

Comment on rounding

If you round correctly (only at the last step), the proper answer is 24.12.

- nun THE SUM OF THREE TIMES A Numbers and 11

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

3x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember BPEMDAS.

"Three times a number" is saying multiply 3 times a variable; in this case, x. So we have 3x

"The sun of 3x and 11" is saying add our 3x and 11, so: 3x + 11

Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (5, 9)(11, - 3)

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3$

The slope can be founded with this formula:

$m =\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

And replacing we got:

$m =\frac{-3 -9}{11-5}= -2$

And the best answer for this case would be :

$m=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:

$x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3$

The slope can be founded with this formula:

$m =\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

And replacing we got:

$m =\frac{-3 -9}{11-5}= -2$

And the best answer for this case would be :

$m=-2$

This is a 3 part 1 question each part on how to locate the plane and a small explanation report working out the recovery details

sesenic [268]

Third leg.

The crew flies at a speed of 560 mi/h in direction N-20°-E.

The wind has a speed of 35 mi/h and a direction S-10°-E.

We then can draw this as:

We have to add the two vectors to find the actual speed and direction.

We will start by adding the x-coordinate (W-E axis):

$\begin{gathered} x=560\cdot\sin (20\degree)+35\cdot\sin (10\degree) \\ x\approx560\cdot0.342+35\cdot0.174 \\ x\approx191.53+6.08 \\ x\approx197.61 \end{gathered}$

and the y-coordinate (S-N axis) is:

$\begin{gathered} y=560\cdot\cos (20\degree)-35\cdot\cos (10\degree) \\ y\approx560\cdot0.940-35\cdot0.985 \\ y\approx526.23-34.47 \\ y\approx491.76 \end{gathered}$

Then, the actual speed vector is v3=(197.61, 491.76).

The starting location for the third leg is R2=(216.66, 167.67) [taken from the previous answer].

Then, we have to calculate the displacement in 20 minutes using the actual speed vector.

We can calculate the movement in each of the axis. For the x-axis:

$\begin{gathered} R_{3x}=R_{2x}+v_{3x}\cdot t \\ R_{3x}=216.66+197.61\cdot\frac{1}{3} \\ R_{3x}=216.66+65.87 \\ R_{3x}=282.53 \end{gathered}$

NOTE: 20 minutes represents 1/3 of an hour.

We can do the same with the y-coordinate:

$\begin{gathered} R_{3y}=R_{2y}+v_{3y}\cdot t \\ R_{3y}=167.67+491.76\cdot\frac{1}{3} \\ R_{3y}=167.67+163.92 \\ R_{3y}=331.59 \end{gathered}$

The final position is R3 = (282.53, 331.59).

To find the distance from the origin and direction, we transform the cartesian coordinates of R3 into polar coordinates:

The distance can be calculated as if it was a right triangle:

$\begin{gathered} d^2=x^2+y^2_{} \\ d^2=282.53^2+331.59^2 \\ d^2=79823.20+109951.93 \\ d^2=189775.13 \\ d=\sqrt[]{189775.13} \\ d\approx435.63 \end{gathered}$

The angle, from E to N, can be calculated as:

$\begin{gathered} \tan (\alpha)=\frac{y}{x} \\ \tan (\alpha)=\frac{331.59}{282.53} \\ \tan (\alpha)\approx1.1736 \\ \alpha=\arctan (1.1736) \\ \alpha=49.56\degree \end{gathered}$

If we want to express it from N to E, we substract the angle from 90°:

$\beta=90\degree-\alpha=90-49.56=40.44\degree$

Answer: the final location can be represented with the vector (282.53, 331.59).

1) The distance from the origin is 435.63 miles and

2) the direction is N-40°-E.
